Light Terraced House with Versatile Garden Annex in Santpoort-Noord
Key Features
Upsides
- The garden house is a significant asset, offering a self-contained space with its own entrance and bathroom that can serve as a home office, guest accommodation, or creative studio, providing flexibility that is rare for a property of this size.
- Recent investments in the property include a new kitchen and electrical panel from 2024, HR++ glass installed in 2025, and roof insulation from 2023, indicating the current owner has proactively maintained and upgraded the home.
- The location in Santpoort-Noord provides excellent access to both natural amenities like the National Park Duin en Kruidberg and urban conveniences including shops, restaurants, and public transport with direct connections to Haarlem and Amsterdam.
- Free street parking directly in front of the property is a practical benefit, particularly in areas where parking permits or paid parking are common.
- The dual-aspect living area with large windows on both front and rear creates a bright interior despite the compact footprint of 64 square meters.
Downsides
- The energy label F indicates relatively poor energy efficiency, and although recent improvements have been made, the listed price per square meter of 6,953 euros is high for a property with this energy rating.
- The garden dimensions of 17 meters deep by only 2.5 meters wide create a very narrow outdoor space that may feel constricted despite its length.
- There is a contradiction in the listing regarding the garden orientation, with the description stating south-facing while the technical specifications indicate west-facing, which raises questions about accuracy of other listing details.
- The living space of 64 square meters is relatively small for a single-family home, even with the additional 14 square meter garden house that is classified as external storage space rather than living area.
- The property dates from 1925, and while some updates have been made, older homes of this era may have hidden maintenance issues that are not immediately apparent.
Description
This terraced house is situated on a quiet street in the center of Santpoort-Noord. The property was originally built in 1925 and has been updated with several modern improvements over recent years. The house presents a light and surprisingly spacious feel despite its compact footprint of 64 square meters of living space.
Upon entering the property, residents are welcomed into an open living area that benefits from large windows on both the front and rear facades. This dual aspect allows natural light to flow through the space throughout the day. The floor is finished with continuous white laminate flooring, which enhances the bright and airy atmosphere of the interior. The living room connects seamlessly to the kitchen area at the rear of the property, which in turn opens up to the outdoor space.
The kitchen was completely renewed in 2024 and features a corner layout with a white stone worktop. It is equipped with modern appliances including an induction cooktop, combination oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and a stainless steel sink. The positioning of the kitchen allows for views of the garden while cooking, and the connection to the outdoor space makes it convenient for outdoor dining during warmer months.
The first floor contains two well-proportioned bedrooms. The front bedroom has an L-shaped layout, while the rear bedroom offers good flexibility for furniture arrangement. Both rooms have sizable windows that provide ample natural light. The main bathroom on this floor is fitted with a shower and washbasin. Additionally, there is a renovated floating toilet with a small fountain on the ground floor hallway.
A notable feature of this property is the garden house located at the rear of the plot. This structure was fully renovated and now serves as a versatile space that can function as a guest room, home office, art studio, or yoga room. The garden house has its own entrance accessible via the rear path and includes a modern bathroom completed in 2021 with a walk-in shower, toilet, and washbasin. The interior features light finishes and warm wooden details. The garden house measures approximately 14 square meters and provides a private and self-contained space separate from the main residence.
The outdoor area consists of a backyard that receives sunlight from approximately 10 in the morning until evening. The garden feels more spacious due to its open position at the rear. There is a rear access path providing convenience for reaching the garden house independently. A stone storage shed is present with electricity and water connections. Two sun shade sails are included with the property for use during warmer weather.
Recent improvements to the main house include a new electrical panel installed in 2024, HR++ glass on the front and rear facades installed in 2025, and roof insulation completed in 2023. The central heating boiler dates from 2020 and runs on gas. The current energy label is rated as F, though this rating is based on an older assessment and may not reflect the recent insulation improvements.
The property is located in Santpoort-Noord, an area that offers a range of amenities within walking distance including shops, a supermarket, restaurants, and a weekly Friday market. The National Park Duin en Kruidberg and Burgemeester Rijkenspark, which includes an outdoor swimming pool, are located very close by. The cities of Haarlem and Bloemendaal, as well as the beach, are easily accessible by bicycle. Public transportation options include a bus stop approximately two minutes walk away and Santpoort-Noord train station about ten minutes walk, with fast connections to Haarlem and Amsterdam.
Parking is available on the street in front of the property at no cost. The property sits on a plot of 120 square meters with the main house having a volume of 267 cubic meters. There is also a loft space above the first floor. The total listed price is 445,000 euros, which translates to approximately 6,953 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with delivery dates to be agreed upon between buyer and seller.
It should be noted that there is a discrepancy in the listing regarding the garden orientation. The description states the garden faces south, while the technical specifications indicate a western orientation. Prospective buyers are advised to verify this detail during a viewing. A measurement report conforming to the NEN2580 standard is available for reference regarding the stated surface areas.
